Comment It's rare that I search outside of Wikipedia (Score 1) 17
I have bookmarked the sites that I like, and sometimes I get external links from those. If I want information, I will get it from Wikipedia or local news sources I have bookmarked.
It's rare that I will search for anything, because when I do, I end up seeing AI generated websites which are 90% preamble and 10% copy/paste basic information.
The rest of the results are from Q&A sites where many people are just asking the same question with no real information.
I would enjoy finding personal web sites that do a deep dive on a certain topic, but these have evaporated because instead people just do deep dive discussions on reddit, and these are full of deleted posts and outdated links. The discussions that have posts in them are disorganized and difficult to digest.
There might be information in videos people post online, but many of them are in loud monotone with deleted silence that feel like getting hit in the head with a hammer when I watch them. And I don't really want to sit and watch a video for the information I want.
Ia it just me or is search garbage and a lot of the internet garbage too?
